Summary

Anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, the top-rated news analysis podcast LegalAF x MeidasTouch is back for another hard-hitting look at the wheels of justice in “real time” in this post-Midterm Elections edition as they analyze and discuss this week’s most consequential developments at the intersection of law and politics. On this week’s episode, the anchors break-down and analyze: Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of Jack Smith as Special Counsel against Trump for Mar-a-Lago and the Insurrection; the 11th Circuit’s future oral argument on Judge Cannon’s special master procedure related to the Mar a Lago documents scandal; the appointment of an Independent Monitor over all of Trump’s businesses and assets by the New York judge overseeing the New York Attorney General civil fraud case; Trump’s lawsuit against the New York Attorney General in Florida gets transferred to the federal judge who just sanctioned Trump and his lawyers for their meritless case against Hillary Clinton; the Department of Justice files its emergency brief to the Supreme Court to reinstate President Biden’s student loan forgiveness program; and Mark Meadows loses again in his efforts to avoid testifying and producing phone records to the Jan6 Committee, and so much more.

0:00.0	Attorney General Merrick Garland appoints Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate Donald Trump's crimes related to the January 6th insurrection, 2020 election interference generally, theft of government records, and obstructing the investigation into said
0:24.1	theft. Jack Smith is a career prosecutor with an impeccable reputation and before this special
0:31.5	counsel assignment was a war crimes prosecutor in the Hague.
0:38.3	And the right-wing echo chamber is freaking out about this appointment,
0:43.3	which is kind of one of the key things you need to know.
0:47.3	The Department of Justice and Trump are getting ready for oral argument before the 11th Circuit,
0:53.3	Court of Appeals in the civil case filed by
0:56.7	Donald Trump, where Judge Eileen Cannon, the federal judge in the Southern District of Florida,
1:03.1	improperly asserted equitable jurisdiction to interfere with the Department of Justice's criminal

1:45.5	Supreme Court. As the New York state court judge officially appoints an independent monitor to
1:53.0	oversee the Trump organization's finances this week, Trump's frivolous lawsuit against the New York
1:59.9	Attorney General, which was originally
2:01.8	filed in state court in Florida, got removed to federal court in Florida, and was assigned
2:08.9	to the very same judge, Judge Middlebrooks, who just sanctioned Trump on a different frivolous
2:16.7	case that Trump filed.
